Ground deformation surveys conducted during 28 November-6 December revealed the edifice inflated The Main Crater lake water became more acidic since 12 September , and the newly formed mud geyser, which is now merged with the Crater Lake due to increase in water level, continues to be very active.
The increasing acidity and hydrothermal activity are probably caused by the injection of hot gases and fluids coming from below the crater floor. Alert Level 1 continued, making the Main Crater off-limits to the public because of the chance of sudden steam explosions and high toxic gas concentrations.
This report discusses Taal seismicity, deformation, and hydrothermal behavior steaming, and temperature changes in lake water at Main Crater that occurred intermittently during , , and The lake engulfs a large island with several thousand residents, Volcano Island, the place where all historical eruptions have vented figures 10 and Restlessness described herein was not confined to the area beneath the island.
On 28 August , ten volcanic earthquakes occurred, two of which were felt and heard as rumbling sounds by residents in the Pira-Piraso village on Volcano Island.
The earthquakes were located NE of the island near the Daang Kastila area below Taal caldera's N rim at estimated depths of 0. The Alert Level remained at 1 scale is , with 0 referring to No Alert. Since 26 April, the number and magnitude of volcanic earthquakes had increased. Most signals were high-frequency earthquakes, but at least one, on 2 June, was low-frequency. Deformation data showed slight inflation since ; measurements taken at the SE side of Taal on 7 June showed further inflation by 3 mm.
PHIVOLCS proposed that the high frequency earthquakes could be the result of active rock fracturing associated with magma intrusion beneath the volcano, and that the fractures could serve as passageways through which hot gases from the intruding magma could escape into the lake. According to news reports Xinhua, Philippine Daily Inquirer , the more than 5, residents living near Taal were advised to evacuate their homes voluntarily. On 10 June, the Philippine Coast Guard sent five teams of divers and rescue swimmers with rubber boats and medical teams to its forward command post to help evacuate, if necessary, these residents.
A news report Philippine Daily Inquirer , however, indicated that most residents refused to leave without an official order. The number of earthquakes recorded daily gradually declined to background levels beginning the second week of July However, given that field surveys conducted at the Main Crater and at the "New Eruption" site SW edge of Main Crater indicated no anomalous thermal or surface activity. Field observations on 10 and 18 January revealed no significant changes.
Weak steaming from a thermal area inside the main crater was noted and the lake temperature, acidity, and color were normal. During January , ten volcanic earthquakes were detected, two of which were felt by residents of Pira-Piraso, on the N side of the island. Between January, up to seven daily volcanic earthquakes were detected by the seismic network. Field observations during January revealed an increase in the number of steaming vents inside the main crater and a drop in the lake level there.
The lake water temperature and pH values remained normal. Visual observations on 27 January showed weak steaming at a thermal area in the crater.

Taal is one of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines and has produced some of its most powerful historical eruptions. Though not topographically prominent, its prehistorical eruptions have greatly changed the landscape of SW Luzon.
The 15 x 20 km Talisay Taal caldera is largely filled by Lake Taal, whose km 2 surface lies only 3 m above sea level. The maximum depth of the lake is m, and several eruptive centers lie submerged beneath the lake.
The 5-km-wide Volcano Island in north-central Lake Taal is the location of all historical eruptions. Powerful pyroclastic flows and surges from historical eruptions have caused many fatalities. The following references have all been used during the compilation of data for this volcano, it is not a comprehensive bibliography.

An eruption that began on 31 January produced the Mt. Tabaro scoria cone on Volcano Island in the Taal caldera.
The lava flow forming the lava delta was emplaced during this eruption, which lasted until 2 April. This December aerial view from the lava flow traveled to the lake within the crater produced during the major eruption. An ash plume rises above a vent on the SW side of Volcano Island at Taal on 30 September , during a two-day eruption that began on the 28th.

A 3-km-wide caldera is located at the center of Volcano Island, in the Philippines' southern Luzon Island. The 5-km-wide Volcano Island lies within the much larger 15 x 20 km Taal caldera, of which the western wall is seen across Lake Taal in the distance.
The small island in the center of the photo is a remnant of historical eruptions on Volcano Island and is an island in a lake, on an island in a lake, on an island.
Photo by Chris Newhall, U. Taal caldera, seen here from its NW rim, is a 15 x 20 km caldera of Pleistocene and Holocene age. Volcano Island, in the north-central part of Lake Taal, is constructed of coalescing small tuff and scoria cones. Powerful phreatomagmatic explosive eruptions from several locations on the 5-km-wide island have produced deadly pyroclastic surges.
The small tuff cone in the center of this photo was produced towards the end of a powerful explosive eruption of Taal in the Philippines. The eruption from 28 to 30 September originated from a fissure on the SE flank of Volcano Island and produced devastating pyroclastic surges when lake water gained access to the vent.
The vent is filled by an inlet of Lake Taal in this post-eruption photo from the S. Eruptions the following year almost completely filled this new inlet. Photo by Jim Moore, U. This m-wide crater formed during an eruption of Taal in That eruption modified cones and craters that had been constructed during yearly eruptions from to within a larger crater that formed during the eruption.
This photo from the SW also shows the small crater along the margin of the flat bench at the upper right side of the crater. The surface of the km 2 lake is only 3 m above sea level. Volcano Island has been the source of explosive eruptions with pyroclastic surges that devastated lakeshore areas. Pleistocene eruptions that formed the caldera greatly modified the topography of southern Luzon Island.
Mount Tabaro on Volcano Island at Taal is seen here from the west in The sloping ridge extending across the photo from the lower right shoreline is the rim of the elongate vent system. The dark lava flow along the coastline was erupted in from a scoria cone that formed in the vent. This and other overlapping scoria cones and craters at the right-center formed during to eruptions.

GVMID should provide a snapshot and baseline view of the techniques and instrumentation that are in place at various volcanoes, which can be use by volcano observatories as reference to setup new monitoring system or improving networks at a specific volcano.
These data will allow identification of what monitoring gaps exist, which can be then targeted by remote sensing infrastructure and future instrument deployments.
Volcanic Hazard Maps The IAVCEI Commission on Volcanic Hazards and Risk has a Volcanic Hazard Maps database designed to serve as a resource for hazard mappers or other interested parties to explore how common issues in hazard map development have been addressed at different volcanoes, in different countries, for different hazards, and for different intended audiences. In addition to the comprehensive, searchable Volcanic Hazard Maps Database, this website contains information about diversity of volcanic hazard maps, illustrated using examples from the database.
This site is for educational purposes related to volcanic hazard maps. Hazard maps found on this website should not be used for emergency purposes. For the most recent, official hazard map for a particular volcano, please seek out the proper institutional authorities on the matter. For each MODIS image, the algorithm automatically scans each 1 km pixel within it to check for high-temperature hot-spots.
When one is found the date, time, location, and intensity are recorded. MODIS looks at every square km of the Earth every 48 hours, once during the day and once during the night, and the presence of two MODIS sensors in space allows at least four hot-spot observations every two days.
Each day updated global maps are compiled to display the locations of all hot spots detected in the previous 24 hours. There is a drop-down list with volcano names which allow users to 'zoom-in' and examine the distribution of hot-spots at a variety of spatial scales. Sentinel Hub is an engine for processing of petabytes of satellite data.
It is opening the doors for machine learning and helping hundreds of application developers worldwide. It makes Sentinel, Landsat, and other Earth observation imagery easily accessible for browsing, visualization and analysis. Users can customize a variety of filters and options in the left panel.
Note that if there are no stations are known the map will default to show the entire world with a "No data matched request" error notice. Users can customize the data search based on station or network names, location, and time window. Requires Adobe Flash Player. The Deep Earth Carbon Degassing DECADE initiative seeks to use new and established technologies to determine accurate global fluxes of volcanic CO 2 to the atmosphere, but installing CO 2 monitoring networks on 20 of the world's most actively degassing volcanoes.
The group uses related laboratory-based studies direct gas sampling and analysis, melt inclusions to provide new data for direct degassing of deep earth carbon to the atmosphere. There is a lake in the middle of the volcano which is in the middle of a larger lake.
Take a half-hour boat trip to the volcano island and then you can hike in about 45 minutes or be led quicker on a horse for a nominal fee to the top for a beautiful view into the inner lake and of the surrounding area.
Do this in the morning before it gets really hot. There are some VERY basic concessions available at the summit, but no place to have a real meal there. You can have lunch of freshly caught fish plus traditional Filipino dishes in private lakeside huts when you take a boat back from the volcano. Nick Pachelli. Wander Around the Volcano Island It's actually a volcano on an island within a volcano on an island. Tricky I know, but it's quite true.
The island you can access by boat and surrounding the giant lake is a looping road filled with food markets and local shops. Steve Cook.
